Romeo and Juliet

Carolyn Dorfman Dance Company’s “Cat’s Cradle” will be performed at the Jersey Moves dance festival.

STAR-CROSS’D

On February 5, Toronto’s Classical Theater Project is bringing the famous brooding teens to the Mayo Performing Arts Center with their production of Romeo and Juliet. While this production uses Shakespeare’s original language, the show updates the staging to engage modern audiences. To add to the authenticity, the TCTP took care to age-appropriately cast each role. This production is the perfect way to introduce your teens to the Bard. Tickets are $20. (973-539-8008; mayoarts.org).

GOTTA DANCE

This two-day, March 24 and 25, festival of dance showcases the best that New Jersey-based dance companies have to offer. From Bharatanatyam to Ballet, “Jersey Moves!” promises to present choreography from all over the world, including performances from the Alborada Spanish Dance Theater, the Nai-Ni Chen Dance Company, Ramya Ramnarayan and the New Jersey Tap Ensemble. Tickets range from $26-$28.  (973-642-8989; njpac.org).

ALL TAPPED OUT

The Somerset County Park Commission invites you to take a free tour to learn the process behind making maple syrup.
